Answer:

a sequence of three nucleotides which together form a unit of genetic code in a DNA or RNA molecule.

Step-by-step explanation:

Codon. The genetic code (which includes the codon) serves as a basis for establishing how genes encoded in DNA are decoded into proteins. A critical interaction in protein synthesis is the interaction between the codon in messenger RNA (mRNA) and the anticodon in an aminoacyl-transfer RNA
